Since we can't all be in Groningen this year, we're hosting a little Scottish ESNS get-together on Zoom this Wednesday from 18.30-20.00 GMT (19.30-21.00 CET) and, directly before the showcase of Scottish band MEMES.

MEMES formed on a Megbus in Spring 2019. Debut single ‘Blah Blah Blah’ earned the band a Steve Lamacq live session on BBC 6 Music and regular radio airplay, leading to Fierce Panda Records releasing another single and debut EP ‘MEMES’ in 2020.

We're pleased to announce the launch of our 2022 artist development programme - open to all genres - with applications open now. Supported by PRS Foundation, it aims to develop international opportunities for six acts based in Scotland, and is open to solo musicians, bands, songwriters and producers/DJs who make original music.

Wide Days is set to return to Edinburgh as a physical music convention from 19-21 May, with a conference, one-to-one meetings and live performances , as well as a range of informal networking opportunities including guided tours, whisky tasting and exotic soft-drink sampling.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended our Scottish reception at FOCUS Wales!

We’re excited to have partnered with Showcase Scotland Expo to represent Scotland at FOCUS Wales 2021. We’re showcasing three great Scottish artists next week (Fri Oct 08) as part of the festival - Magpie Blue , MEMES and Talisk.

The artists selected for our Wide Days 21 talent development programme, supported by PRS Foundation, have been super-busy over the past few months.

We've just launched a brand new Spotify playlist to help you keep up to date with all the latest great new music coming out of Scotland.

Wide Days second online addition saw 200 delegates from 23 countries around the world registering to take part in meetings, round-table discussions and a conference programme including panels, interviews and presentations.

After 18 months of pandemic, we know you’re very likely to be getting tired of online events where your only option is watching people in small rectangles and interacting by text. That’s why at Wide Days we’re doing it differently

To mark global pride day we chatted with artists and music industry professionals from across Scotland about what Pride means to them, work that the Scottish music industry can do to be more inclusive and to highlight some of the great organisations that support the LGBTQIA+ community.
